| Summary: | Hydroxyapatite (HAp) from fish by-product exhibits good biocompatibility and bioactivity on implants. The aim
of the study is to investigate the elemental composition, crystalline phases, and functional groups of HAp synthesised from
fringescale sardinella fish bones by heat decomposition method at temperature of 600, 900, and 1200 °C. The synthesised
powders were characterized using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy
dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). After calcination of the raw fish bone to 600, 900, and 1200 °C, the FTIR data showed the
existence of phosphate and hydroxyl peaks in the calcined fish bones. At 900 and 1200°C, the XRD data observed shows
well-defined peaks of HAp pattern. The elemental composition evaluated by EDS provides information on the calcium to
phosphate formation into apatite with a Ca/P ratio of 2.80, 0.98, 1.64 and 1.79 atomic % for raw fish bones and calcined
samples, respectively. It can be concluded that the fringescale sardinella fish bones show promising findings particularly
on the synthesisation of HAp for biomedical applications |
